I had a friend who was obviously pregnant. She and her husband (both white) went from Florida to France. They were chosen for the random search. Before they were allowed to board the plane, the guards took my pregnant friend to a room where she was forced to strip completely naked. As if they couldn't tell at this point that she was pregnant, they did a full cavity search, "Just to make sure there's not a bomb tucked away neatly inside her".

The airport guards were black and hispanic. Both were women. My friend's husband was outraged when he found out what they had been doing to her. I was outraged when I found out.

I agree that they are taking things a bit too far. They are targeting the wrong people at these security points and they know damn well what they are doing. It's just another way to bring us down.

If it were me, I would simply not board the airplane. I would wait for another flight, or I would demand to have an attorney present at the time of their search. It seems to me that things like this should be illegal.
